Hi all:
When I installed my king dome, I went down to a local nut and bolt store,
picked up several of the blind nuts used to mount the mirrors on Chevy
pickup trucks and used 1/4 -20 stainless hex head bolts. I also made the
tool from a bolt and 2 nuts to install the inserts with. Worked nicely for me.
Safe travels,
